Media Player

[Guest]

Laptop Running Windows 2000 SP4 and Media Player 9. Have
all of the latest critical updates and recommended updates.

When trying to go to a website to listen to straming audio
(.asx page) media player crashes.
-----------------
wmplayer.exe has caused and error and needs to shut down
----------------

Uninstalled and installed media player 7.1. I get the
same error.

A desktop running Windows 2000 SP4 and Media Player 9 can
listen to the audio just fine. A exact same latop running
media player 6.4 can listen to the audio just fine.
(both laptops are almost identical, running same verions
of anti-virus and other programs).

Tried to install media player 6.4 from microsoft website
and it will not install. Says that it will not install
for Windows 2000 and a version will be made available at a
later date.

I don't know if there are any settings in media player or
in IE that I can change to make it work?

Can I reinstall Media Player 6.4 for Win2000?

any other ideas?

never mind. When you uninstall media player 9, 6.4 is
there. and now the webpages work fine.

Still...I would like to know why Windows barfed with MP 9
